In a major boost to India’s clean mobility vision, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday announced that electric vehicle (EV) prices are likely to match petrol vehicle prices within the next four to six months. The development could mark a turning point for India’s automobile sector, making EVs more accessible to the masses.

A Step Toward Energy Independence

Speaking at the 20th FICCI Higher Education Summit 2025, Gadkari emphasised that reducing India’s dependence on fossil fuels is critical for both economic and environmental reasons. “We spend nearly Rs 22 lakh crore every year on fuel imports; it’s a huge economic burden,” he said, adding that the shift to clean energy and electric mobility will not only help save costs but also combat pollution.
